Team Level Snaps Per Minute (Team Speed, Seasonal Average SPM, and Last 4 Games SPM)

Note the 15 Teams whose last 3 games scored above league average included 13 teams that had “slowed down” recently and only 2 teams that had sped up. (86% slowed down)

The bottom 17 teams who have scored below average in the last 3 weeks included 5 slowed down teams and 12 sped up teams (29% slowed down)

Is 86% different from 29%? Yes! Unpublished data showed that these two team types (slowed vs increased in speed) were statistically different in points scored on the field by ANOVA and Tukey Testing. BAM! Slowed Team scored on average 26.5 points on the field vs sped-up teams only had 19.7 points average. That is about a TD difference! Can an extra TD help your fantasy team?

I revealed an association with team speeds and scoring. I think there is even a deep view that I will save for my 2019 textbook. Just be aware that slowing down seems to associate with more scoring on average. On average means more likely than not.

LAR, CIN, WAS, NE and KC are teams that have sped up in SPM. (Green Circles). The red circles highlight the teams that have slowed down in SPM. IND, CLE, SF, CAR, NO, DAL, SEA, and Oak!

TEAM and Positional SPM Metrics

These tables are organized by Team and Positions. The metrics are Weeks 7 to 11, Seasonal SPM average, Last 4 Games SPM, Positional Usages of each position and a DIFF metric in team usage between the last 4 games and before week 8 SPM.

What teams are using what position more recently?

For Example. In ARI the RB is steady, TE usage has dropped and WR usages have increased. Use these metrics in lineups and DFS choices.

SPM Positional Usages (High Usages to Low)

Each Position segment has tabular data along with a visually based plot of SPM metrics
